Why is this always hard now? I am a happily married empty nester. Just turned 50. I live in my dream spot of the planet. I have three adult sons, two in college. I am currently retired. Jobs are hard to come by up here in endurance hill. So I guess that is why I say retired. I no longer can call myself a stay at home mom as the only kids are now the fur kids. I think I have lost the labels of my definition. Kind of faded like my hip line . Soft and no longer where I like. So I guess I have to say, I am a stay at home pet mom? I want to lose 40 pounds, again!
